The things is given the nature of the Parliament in this country the SNP have just as much a right to form part of the Government as Labour or the Conservatives.
Seems to me that some people forget that Parliament is not just for England.
If it were down to me I'd move to a much clearer Federal structure within the UK, rather than the halfarsed thing we have at the moment. But then I would also bring in PR too.

What people despise about them is their politics of envy and mission number 1 of destroying what they control
Started reading into a bit of the Green's manifesto regarding transport over lunch.
This stuff needs to be taken apart by the other lot.
"Motor vehicle drivers should be presumed liable for injuries to pedestrians and cyclists. If the casualty has contributed to the collision, compensation may be reduced, but not when the victim is a child, elderly (70+) or impaired."
So a 70 year old runs out into the road, it's instantly your fault and even if the person doesn't fall into those categories "compensation may be reduced if the casualty contributed to the collision". What the f

What are the odds on a Tory/Labour coallition?
Nil. The threat from the minor parties isn't large enough; the two majors are ideologically closer to one or more of the minors than each other; and such a coalition would lose them each a chunk of their core support with no obvious replacement support.

As said before, the public sector is now huge, and has a voracious appetite for public funds, be it borrowed or from taxes, they don’t care – nor, crucially, does labour, I suspect…
and said public sector are never going to vote for a smaller public sector!A can work, but wont work benefits claimant, was asked if she felt guilty about taking money from those who worked, and paid the taxes. Her reply was `of course not, if they want to work and pay taxes, that is their choice!'
The public sector provide the services that the country requires as a whole to function, but they do not make anything, or provide services which others (especially other countries) will pay for (except perhaps the NHS. but then it would not be the NHS, but the International Health Service) So the public sector is almost entirely paid for from money raised in taxes, taken from the private sector which make things and provide services which others do want to buy.
As for the can work, but wont work benefits claimants, they are doubly bad for the country, because they not only want to take out of the system, but also do not want to contribute anything for the benefits they receive.
The public sector and benefits claimants do not appear to worry overmuch about `where' the money comes from, only that it comes.
And for the money to come for all the things we want, the NHS, schools, the benefits system, the police, the armed forces etc, FIRST we must have a sound economy, all those things we want can only come about in a country where they can be paid for (without running up vast debt)

Ashcroft: CON 34%, LAB 30%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 13%, GRN 4%
So, what do the PH massive think the poll number should be?ICM have con 34% lab 32% UKIP 11% libd 10% green 5%
It does explain that it is still close when you factor in margin of error.

5 years of Labour & SNP it's looking like. 322 seats combined currently, Guardian reckons that will be enough to secure a vote of confidence.
4 UKIP seats according to the latest predictions too.
Interesting times ahead, 2020 will certainly be a rollercoaster.
20204 UKIP seats according to the latest predictions too.
Interesting times ahead, 2020 will certainly be a rollercoaster.
With the back stabbing assholes in the SNP i doubt if it would last until the 20th of June
